Trans Pride Seattle 2023

Each year, Gender Justice League produces Trans Pride Seattle: the Northwest's largest trans-specific event, bringing together nearly 15,000 people each year. TPS is our community's opportunity to join together to learn, celebrate, connect, and resist.

This year we will be featuring both national and local trans performers, including Angel Bonilla from The Voice, Montana Representative Zooey Zephyr, T4T: Seattle's Longest Running All Trans & Nonbinary Drag Show, DJ @exesive__, and more!

Gender Justice League is dedicated to creating an event that is accessible; community (not corporate) funded; and focused squarely on highlighting the leaders, talents, and performances of those most impacted by racism, ableism, transphobia, and xenophobia. This year will include our popular Spoons Tent for a low-sensory, chill-out space, and a continued commitment to ASL and Spanish language translation.

Like many organizations, Trans Pride Seattle and Gender Justice League have been financially impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. TPS took a two-year hiatus, returning in September of 2022. GJL saw a 50% reduction in revenue between 2020 and 2021, and has been slowly rebuilding. Other 'mainstream' funding continues to be extremely hard for us to access as a trans-specific organization, and we receive no city or county funds, have no Trans Pride specific grants, and we do not accept funds from major corporations.

We have chosen to accept funds only from LGBTQ employee resource groups, labor unions, local non-profits, small businesses, and individual donors so that we can maintain a community-focused event directed towards political and cultural resistance—free from the influence of outside entities.
